Alberto Polverosi expressed his frustration at Fiorentina's defeat against Genoa, describing the performance as "Fiorentina's non-team" and comparing it to the first three matches of the season. According to the former player, the Viola team once again showed a lack of quality, while Genoa was well organized and Fiorentina seemed "doomed".
In his comment, Polverosi analyzed Fiorentina's position in the league table. The team is again in the relegation zone, with four points in six games and a disappointing defensive record: 14 goals conceded, the worst defense in the championship. Comparing the data with the previous year, when after six matchdays they had only three points and 8 goals conceded, the goal difference is now -7, a worsening compared to -4 last year. The former defender stressed that, although the situation is not immediately desperate, past missteps have made the environment darker and more suspicious.
Polverosi then highlighted the need to restart the team's morale. He recalled that coach Vanoli has "a young team in his hands" that needs to be motivated. The change of bench had immediate effects against Venezia, Napoli and Pisa in the Italian Cup, but the defeat against Genoa and yesterday's first half brought Fiorentina back. Despite this, Polverosi expressed hope, stating that "there is time to relaunch" and that the club must make good use of the opportunity.
In summary, Fiorentina are in a precarious position, with a defense that has conceded more goals than the previous year and a low score. The former defender asked for a boost in morale and a tactical reorganization to avoid relegation, but also left open the possibility of a recovery if the team is able to make the most of the time available.
